One trend in adult education is the addition of social emotional learning into curriculum and practice. I project that there will be more interest in bringing in curriculum, workshops, and/or facilitators to increase the SEL within various classrooms and work environments. I am interested in learning and preparing effective tools and techniques to facilitate programs that include SEL.
Responsible Decision-Making: The ability to make constructive choices about personal behavior and social interactions based on ethical standards, safety concerns, and social norms. The realistic evaluation of consequences of various actions, and a consideration of the well-being of oneself and others.
I would like to incorporate elements of SEL in all workshops I create and facilitate. 3 Key SEL practices include: Welcoming rituals: Activities for inclusion (for example, check-ins) Engaging practices: Sense Making & "Brain Breaks" (for example, stretching breaks) Optimistic Closures: Reflections and Looking Forward (for example, closing reflections) One article, "What Makes SEL Work," discusses the 3 main "buckets" of skills: cognitive regulation, emotion, and interpersonal. Within my facilitation work, my focus is on the emotion and interpersonal.
One example of practice that the article shares that I would like to incorporate is called the "SECURe corner," a designated place for students go to manage their behaviour. I would like to include a section of the workbook I provide participants that has a feeling true to support them in articulating how they're feeling and worksheets or exercise ideas to help them self-regulate. I appreciate the idea that the article shares about the importance of education the adults within the education system as well as the children. I would like my students to be those educators.
